Now THERE'S a Mother's Day!!!
Arlene Faber writes: This is my mom surrounded by most of her grandchildren and great grandchildren and their spouses or "best friends" (maybe soon to be spoouses?) We try to shoot this each year when we gather for the holidays.......Arlene
PS: There are 15 grandchildren and most are married. I can never keep a tally on the great grands so lets call this one 15.
If you look in the middle, you'll see Arlene's Mom. A close up picture of her with one of the great grandchildren is below.
The winner (#15 on the distribution list) is djmalliott@shaw.ca
Visit the MiniMall and pick out a stamp you would like to have.
Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Nor Snow, Nor Sleet.....Nor Lumber Trucks
were going to prevent Wenda Wickland's 81 year old father and his 96 year old friend from their Veggie Pizza lunch!
Wanda wrote while stuck in Montanaa traffic jam caused by freak weather and several accidents miles ahead of her. She was worried about her Father and his friend (in another car) but reached them by phone to find they were traveling slowly behind two huge lumber trucks (also impacted by the traffic and accidents). They made it to their lunch and errands and Wanda saved her sanity, browsing gg designs Catalog while listening to the police scanner to determine safe passage through this huge snow, accident and emergency vehicle snarl.
New for gg designs....to be a roadside companion in such an adventure. We'd love to bring you pictures of Wanda, her Father and his friend, but Wanda says she's not up to speed yet with her camera and uploading, etc. So, we will reserve the space below for pictures, when available. |

February and "Love Stories" abound!
|
When we put out a call for photos and stories for the February drawing, we were delighted and moved by the response. You just KNOW we couldn't choose, so we used all three!
|
|
First to respond.....Arlene Faber, who had this to say:
This is "my 98 year old mother holding her 7 month old youngest great grandchild. You had the baby picture up last summer shortly after she was born.
Let's use 98 for my mother as the number..........Arlene"
Valentines/February may be about "romantic love" (particularly when the hormones are raging!) but oh my!!! Can you beat this ?
Almost a century between them, but nothing separating them. This is lovely! Thanks so much for sharing, Arlene.
AND....the first February prize goes to:
blackcats2003@embarqmail.com

Here, even if at first glance it doesn't show, is another love story.....
Linda Blackbird tells it this way:
Tom and his "little girl" are all snuggled in for the reading of The
Night Before Christmas...
[Ok, so we're doing a seasonal crossover....it's still a love story and belongs here.]
It's a tradition that they both look forward to each Christmas
Eve...Since she lives 2 hours away, it gets carried out over the
phone, if need be!
He never reads it the same way twice...always the goofball...and, I
love to hear their laughter as they share their special time together.
Since our 'baby' will be 34 on Tuesday, let's go with that number.
Linda also said: "If this is all too sappy. . ." Is there "too sappy" for such as this? No Way!!!
Lucky 34 is: sandyha@comcast.net |

OK, here is a new Groom! Now we may get to the "Romantic" Part!
But, where's the bride?
This picture with its fabulous sunset was sent to us by Mary Dinucci, his "Mom-in-law," so this is a little different "take" on the usual February/Honeymooners/story.
I am "volunteering" for February's etc. drawing. Attached is a photo of my newest son-in-law Mike with an awesome Florida Gulf Coast sunset in the background. DH Ray and I joined Mike and Nancy, and Mikes's mom Nancy (interesting challenge: who is "the other Nancy"?) for dinner last week at a restaurant on the beach. Wonderful evening! Mike is a very funny guy. We love to be in his company.
Good start on new family relationships, wouldn't you say? Mary picked #9 for the prize....since she is expecting her ninth grandchild in August.
The winner is.......susanjhale@yahoo.com |
FYI, here are six of Mary's eight-going-on-nine grandchidren>>>> |
The prize of each of the winners.....a $10.00 "Browse" at the Mini Mall.
See the Sales page.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who sent in pictures to make this February "Love Fest" so special!
